The Red Oak Creek Covered Bridge’s longevity is nearly as astounding as the story of its builder, Horace King, part black, part white, part Catawba Indian—a man so far ahead of his time that he wore a soul patch 60 years before anyone heard of jazz.

It doesn’t much matter what I think about Superica and The El Felix, Ford Fry’s two new Tex-Mex restaurants with almost identical menus and almost identical lines. When I asked the manager of The El Felix—in Avalon, the Alpharetta mall-city—how many diners they served, he said, “Three to four hundred on a slow night.”

NYSE coming to the ATL?

Atlanta-based “upstart” IntercontinentalExchange will purchase the New York Stock Exchange for $8.2 billion if everything passes muster. If it does, ICE will run the new company with one office still on Wall Street and another near the Hooch. NYSE CEO Duncan Niederauer didn’t pull any punches in a release to the staff of the (current) Manhattan headquarters, conceding that this “is an acquisition, not a merger of equals.”

While this is a sad day for the venerable institution—so identified with New York history as it is—it’s a wonderful day for Atlanta’s financial market! (Presumably especially for those seeking jobs.) It’s still unclear how all of this will work out, but as I recall from various Arrested Development viewings, you can’t have a party without ICE.

First we had an airport, then we got the Olympics, now we’re snagging the symbol of American capitalism. Go, Atlanta, go!
